Couldn't they be almost atomic?
I believe both "yum" and "apt" would only consider rpms/debs if they are
listed in the repo index files*, so you should be able to copy out rpms and
debs and at the final step "mv" the index files into place, making the
packages visible in a super short time?

*) .xml.gz for rpms, db/ files for debs.

Obviously this is a very small part of the list of problems, but I think
anyone mirroring huge sets of rpms/debs would have faced and solved this
particular nit by now?
